UAE withdraws recognition of the Taliban
September 22, 2001 Posted: 2:30 a.m. EDT (0630 GMT)


(CNN) --The United Arab Emirates cut diplomatic relations with the Taliban on Saturday, the official Emirates News Agency reported. Meanwhile, a source in Pakistan said its forces had shot down an unmanned spy plane over Afghanistan.

The agency quoted an unidentified Foreign Ministry official as saying that the Emirates had tried during the past few days to persuade the Taliban to comply with the U.N. Security Council resolution for it to hand over Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect in last week's terror attacks in New York and Washington.

The official expressed regret that the Taliban had failed to respond positively.

The move means that the Taliban is recognized as the Afghan government by only two nations, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

Regarding the spy plane, the Afghan Islamic Press, which is based in Islamabad, Pakistan, first reported that it was a U.S. spy plane, then said it wasn't sure which country it was from.

"We are still trying to ascertain what country this plane belongs to," Zaeef said in an interview. The aircraft could have entered northern Afghanistan from Russia or one of the nearby Central Asian states, such as bordering Uzbekistan.
